After four days of battling my internal agony, being on edge and antisocial, I think my parents are ready to kick me out or have me committed. I have no idea how or what to say to them. They still don’t know because I haven’t figured out how to tell them that their youngest daughter and her unborn baby are a national statistic. As Becca helps me pack my bags to go to Florida tomorrow, Lane walks into my room.

“Lacey, what the hell is going on?” she asks, cornering me. “Why are you back with Caine after what he did to you? You need to leave him!” she shouts.

I wish I could tell you Lane. “Nothing’s going on. Becca’s helping me pack. I love Caine; that’s why we are back together.” I lie. “Anyway, I can't break up with him; I have to stay with him.” Uh, oh! I can feel the heated flush on my cheeks, elevated pulse, and pounding in my ears. Me and my big mouth!

Lane’s face falls. She and I share a horrific look that sparks the haunted memory from my childhood. I made an unspoken promise years ago that I would never put myself in a position where a man could control me. I can see it in her eye. She thinks I'm allowing Caine to control me and maybe there is some truth to that. I'd never tell her.

“Lane, you don't understand,” I plead with tears prickling the backs of my eyes. She couldn't understand. She has an awesome boyfriend. They are high school sweethearts and will most likely spend the rest of their lives together. She has her fairytale. She couldn't possibly understand my problems. Things happen in the right order for her. She will finish college, get married, and will only begin her family when she is ready. I've always been jealous of it. She was the good daughter. I was the wild child. This is what happens to wild, irresponsible people. They don't have a fairytale life.

“Lacey, this is wrong,” She says storming out of my room, almost in tears and nostril flaring.

Becca gives me the sympathetic smile. “You have to come clean. Your family will help you figure it out,” she professes.

"No way, Becca! You better not tell them either. Please don’t be the whistleblower. You promised me!” I yell softly. I wasn't going there because I needed to figure this out for myself. I had planned to cancel my trip with said douche bag and break up with him. I had planned to meet Mr. Blue Eyes at the club last week. Shit, I stood Devon up. He was such a gentleman too. Why is this happening? I don't understand how life can be so simple one minute and then boom. One word, "positive," not even a word - a symbol - can and has changed everything.

“Okay, I promised I wouldn’t say anything but you need to weigh your options. I don’t think marrying is the end all, be all solution Lacey.
